You may remember a little discussion we had about our Triplex idea. Well, the idea is moving toward reality. Tomorrow night we will be having a voting meeting with the East Kensington Neighborhood Association to determine whether or not the neighborhood will support the variances we need for this project. The key discussion point will likely be the appropriateness of increased density that our plan proposes. We, of course, believe it is the perfect location for denser housing as it is within a very short walking distance to the subway line. We also believe that the tenants this type of project is bound to attract will be a great addition to an increasingly vibrant neighborhood. If you think similarly about urban development or would like to hear more, please come out to our zoning meeting tomorrow night.
Where: Coral Street Arts House (map)
When: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.
All are welcome to come, but we would particularly appreciate the support of those of you who live or work within the East Kensington neighborhood. This is a voting meeting and a few more positive voices always help.
If you plan on coming, shout it out in the comments.

FYI – This just got changed at the last minute to be held at Philadelphia Brewing Company around the corner – http://philadelphiabrewing.com/. Yeay beer!
How’d it go? Most neighborhood associations dislike the idea of more rental units.
Isn’t it a use by right which means neighborhood input isn’t officially required?
Hey,
Still trying to find out if rentals are in your future?
And they are. Just sent out an investor proposal to that effect. We are starting with two rental homes and we will go from there.
